Townhouses filled bill for fast; inexpensive housing
by Neal Bernards
Bethel townhouses are tem-porary
structures—true or
false? False, according to' the
housing staff.
"The rumor that the town-houses
are temporary is a
Bethel myth," said Mack Net-tleton,
associate dean of stu-by
Diane Henry
The monkey that escaped
from Como Zoo in June was
captured Sunday, Oct. 10. It
had been seen on the Bethel
campus by a few students.
Betsy Elvig, junior, saw it
Sept. 19 while jogging near
the seminary. The monkey
was behind the seminary
housing, climbing on a fence.
Becky Arndt, senior, saw it
Sept. 20 on Bethel Drive. She
said, "It was sitting in a tree,
and it was really cute. At first
I thought it was a cat, but
then I saw that it didn't have
pointed ears. It talked to me,
and I talked back, but I can't
explain the noises. It looked
hungry."
On Sept. 20 the monkey
was seen by a few Bethel stu-dents,
sitting in a tree near
interstate highway 35W, eat-ing
a banana.
John Fletcher, director, of
dent development. "The build-ings
are amortized (financed)
on a 30-year basis, which is
not very temporary."
Students first occupied the
townhouses in February 1973,
a time of great enrollment
increases. "The school grew
by leaps .and bounds in the
early 70 s, and dorms would
have taken too long to con-struct,"
said Greg Hamann,
director of resident life.
"Money was ,tight, and they
(the Bethel administration) did
the best job they could under
the circumstances."
An extension of Nelson
Residence was originally
planned to house additional
students, but funds were short
and a desperate need arose
for residences. Townhouses
were the quickest and cheap-est
way to get students on
campus.
"Any wooden structure
built in a college setting is
considered temporary because
of the wear," said Hamann.
"The townhouses are tempo-rary
only in comparison to
brick buildings, which are
designed to last 100 years."
"Wood may not be as dur-able
as brick, but it is less
expensive," said Nettleton.
"The townhouses were con-structed
like traditional fam-ily
dwellings, complete with
sheet rock and insulation."
Unlike Nelson Residence,
which was constructed with
donated money, Arden Village
East and West were subsi-dized
by low-interest Hous-ing
and Urban Development
(HUD) loans. Bethel had to
meet certain regulations to
quilify for these loans. The
residences must be easily
convertible into apartments.
Pipe's for kitchen use were
installed in a bedroom closet
of each townhouse to allow
conversion to apartments
should Bethel go bankrupt.
The townhouses' per-bed
construction costs were
cheaper than those of Edgren
and Bodien Residences com-bined.
The townhouses, with
a capacity of 456 people, cost
$1.65 million, while Edgren
and Bodien, with a capacity
of 278, cost $1.99 million.
Every year $40,000 to
$45,000 is spent on townhouse
repairs. Much of the money
goes toward complete redeco-ration
of 20 townhouses each
summer. "We have replaced
75 per cent of the carpet and
purchased new furniture.
That is a large investment in
long-term improvements,"
said Hamann.
There is no plan to replace
the townhouses because of
prohibitive construction costs.
"The money paid by students
now for housing would not
even pay for the interest rates
on buildings similar to Edgren
and Bodien," said Steve Liss-ner,
director of campus plan-ning.
No fund-raising drives
can be started for new dormi-tories
until finances for the
fieldhouse are set.

■•11■._ editorial
Dear editor,
I want to compliment
Tammy, Gregersen and the
Clarion for their excellent treat-ment
of information in the
security article (Oct. 8). The
composition was succinct and
reported the facts without
"puffing," a distorting tech-nique
commonly used in the
journalism field.
I particularly liked the in-struction
to the Bethel com-munity
that "security is every-body's
business." This- is the
crux to reducing security vio-lations
in our fine institution.
I often regret seeing valuable
articles lying around our halls
day after day which can be
easily acquired by someone
who has a propensity for
thievery.
I think your article can have
a good effect on improving
security at Bethel. Thanks.

Dear editor,
The one element that lies
deep within the heart of the
Bethel community is love. But
what is love? Can it really be
defined like any other corn-mon
noun in the English lan-guage?
Webster defines love
as "a feeling of strong personal
attachment induced by sym-pathetic
understanding, or by
ties of kinship; ardent affec-tion."
This definition sounds
rather cold and technical. It
doesn't really bring out the
true meaning of the word love.
Love is more than mere "per-sonal
attachment," love is car-ing,
it is sharing, it is under-standing
and helping.
editor's note:
Some material was uninten-tionally
omitted from M. Roe's
letter on nudear disarmament
(Oct. 1 5). The list of scientists
who say that U.S. and Soviet
arsenals have "rough equality"
should have included Dr. Kurt
Gottfried, professor of physics
and nuclear studies at Cornell
University; among organiza-tions
whose members support
nuclear disarmament should
hove been the Union of Con-cerned
Scientists and the Feder-ation
of American Scientists.
Love brings a sense of sat-isfaction
and peace. Some-times
we get so busy and
caught up in our own little
worlds that we forget to show
any love. We tend to become
harsh and forgetful of others,
even though they may be go-ing
through the same trials as
we are.
When I think of love, I think
of the book of Philippians.
Paul is writing this letter
during his imprisonment in
Rome, and yet he can still
write in chapter one, verses
nine through eleven: "And this
is my prayer: that your love
may abound more and more
in knowledge and be pure and
blameless until the day of
Christ, filled with the fruit of
righteousness that comes
through Jesus Christ—to the
glory and praise of God."
We, too, as Christians,
should be "filled with the fruit
of righteousness," ready to

Music
disguised
as Christian
Dear editor,
The posters for a recent
Christian music concert ad-vertise
"Our rock is not their
rock." It sounds reassuring,
but how is Christian music
different?
I think that some Christian
music is simply secular music
with Christian lyrics. This al-lows
Christians to enjoy the
pleasures of the world and
yet not feel guilty. All we
have to do is change the lyrics
and that makes the music
convey a whole different
meaning. Right?
If I sing the words to "Happy
Birthday" to the tune of "Auld
Lang Syne," would you think
about a birthday party or New
Year's Eve? Most people do
not know the words to "Auld
Lang Syne," yet the feelings
the song evokes are univer-sal.
The music style speaks
just as loud as the lyrics.
Many Christians believe
secular rock is evil. The prob-lem
is they still enjoy the
style. The solution, it seems,
has been to bring the Gospel
down to the level of secular
rock styles. Then, supposedly,
a person -can be blessed by
listening to the Christian
words. Yet we still have the
style speaking to us—remem-ber?
Isn't it time we consider
music for what it really says
to us? Let's admit that all sec-ular
music is not evil, and
that all Christian music is not
automatically good.
If we could lessen the fear
we have of the secular, maybe
we wouldn't have to cling to
Christian rock. We should
consider all types of music,
based on lyrics, style and
audience response, to deter-mine
which music is compat-ible
with our Christian life-style.
Are we deceived in believ-ing
Christian music is "all for
the glory of God" when it is
really "all for our guiltless
enjoyment?"

PO 185
Honest prioritizing
cements commitment We all have expectations placed upon us and -
responsibilities to meet. The problems seems that as the
semester has gotten busier for students, faculty, staff and
administration we begin to fall short of our responsibilities.
We are too busy to meet the person we promised to have
lunch with, we miss due dates or work deadlines and we
do not put in the effort we should in our work.
When this begins to happen we need to reassess our
activities and responsibilities to see how we stack up in
meeting them. It may be time for us to do a little
restructuring. This begins with establishing priority
responsibilities and time commitments. We may have to
leave out something we want to do, such as attending that
other committee meeting.
In addition to the fact that our bodies can only handle so
much activity without time for replenishment, we need to do
an adequate job in our work. We should not be doing just
and amount needed to get by or forcing our co-workers on
the job or in the group to pick up extra work. We should
honestly evaluate what we can do and what we are just not
able to handle in our schedules.
We have to be honest in this evaluation, though. With
midterms coming it is easy to say that we just do not have
the time because of studies. We can only study so many
hours of the day and a certain balance must be maintained.
Spending all of our time studying often leads to a tired mind
and ineffective studying. All of this can result in inner
frustration that we are not accomplishing what we want
or need to.
We need to look at our evaluation of priorities, set aside
time, and tackle one thing at a time. If we really want to do
those things to which we commit ourselves we should be
able to find time for them in our schedules—time to meet the
expectations and our responsibilities.

"FINCH "Fish," Sigmond muttered to himself as he pulled the plow
through the field. "If that stinkin' work horse wouldn't have
died I could be sleeping in the barn right now." As the days of
plowing continued his attitude worsened. He began missing
the weekly council meetings held by the animals. One morning
as the farmer came into the barn to hitch Sigmond up to the
plow Sigmond muttered to himself again. "Forget this garbage,
donkeys were not made by God to plow fields. I'm not a work
horse, no more plowing for me." He wished that he could
scream "GO AWAY" at the farmer.
At the next weekly meeting Sigmond was the main topic of
the animals' discussion. The big .sow spoke first. "That dumb
donkey, he seems to be all wrapped up in himself."
"Yea," the heifer said, "we all do what's expected of us for the
farmer, but Sigmond just sits in that stuffy barn on his tail."
"You're right," said the lamb, "it's not fair that we do all the
work and his lack of work jeopardizes the farm. If the farmer
can't plant in the field he won't have anything to sell."
"Without sales," interrupted the sow, "the farmer would
have to get rid of the farm, which means he would have to get
rid of us."
"It seems as if he resists the tendency to care 'or do good,"
said the hog.
"He's just plain apathetic and selfish." The heifer walked
over to the fence and rested her head on the upper rung. "I care,
but what can we do to help?"
"Nothing," said the lamb, "it's up to him. He needs to become
aware of how much his actions have hurt others."
"I just wish that he would quit making such a donkey out of
himself," added the heifer.. -
Two weeks after the "For Sale" sign had been planted in the
yard, the farmer decided that Sigmond should go to the glue
factory. Sigmond was unable to work because he had devel-oped
swayback. He bathed himself in self pity.
Sigmond never felt comfortable, but he was unwilling to
admit this to himself. As Sigmond stood in line with the other
animals awaiting his execution, the old beat-up horse in front
of him turned his head and said, "I realize now what I have
caused others to go through, but it's too late for me. My time
has come. Your life is just beginning, turn back and right your
wrong."
"Ouuuuuuch," Sigmond said when he realized what he had
done.
That same afternoon Sigmond was back in the field plow-ing,
the "For Sale" sign was in the garbage, the farmer had a
field to plant in, and the animals rejoiced.

Costa Rica he met his wife
Barbara.
He proposed to her in the
Amazon Jungle. "Barbara said
yes because I was the only
way out of the jungle," he
laughed. He-and his wife have

Dear editor:
Plese enroll me as a sup-porter

adds a number of fea-tures
(for example, his em-phases
on justice and peace-making)

in proper, more nearly Bibli-cal
perspective such issues as

major goal this year is curric-ulum
revision.
"The present curriculum
doesn't reflect students' needs
like it might," Holmes said.
"The revision probably will
not be a complete overhaul,
but more likely will focus on
such issues as graduation re-quirements."
The current phase involves
faculty and student opinion
probes, and some "pilot-test-ing"
will occur in 1983 -84.
Both Holmes and Goodwin
encourage students to express
their concern to a student rep-resentative

Goodwin cited one student/

affected by concerned stu-dents
this year. The Curricu-lum

Have you ever wondered
how the dean's office arrives
at the final curriculum choices
for interim?
"Around February or
March, each faculty member
makes a proposal for a class
they would like to teach," said
Tricia Brownlee, director of
academic programs. "The Cur-riculum
Committee reviews it
and decides whether to rec-ommend
it to this office. In
September, if there are gaps
in the curriculum, we ap-proach
part-time teachers to
see it they have anything to
add."
"The policy is that no one
class can be offered two years
in a row," said Brownlee.
"This makes for a fresh and
new program each year. There
are usually more new courses
than repeated ones."
"I think this year's interim
is one of the best," said Brown-lee.
"The curriculum contains
creative, unique, and interest-ing
courses—maybe more
than ever before."

Renovations improve physical plant, gym and carpeting
by Dave Pikal
Over the summer renova-tions
were made in both the
college and the seminary. One
example of this is the new
carpeting located in AC2,
AC3, FA3, FA4, and rooms
AC 203 and 228.
"The carpeting which was
replaced was the original car-peting,"
said Jim Wiegner, su-pervisor
of custodial services.
"It was laid in 1972 and was
getting worn out. The AC
lounge was in particular need
of new carpeting. However,
we don't sell the old carpet-ing.
It is given to area churches
and other organizations."
"Part of our job is to assess
what renovations are needed,"
said Jim Woods, director of
the physical plant. "We select
target areas where improve-ment
is needed, determine the
cost, and submit them to the
general budget. We receive
budgetary guidelines for our
department, which we take
into consideration as we prior-itize
various target areas."
Besides the new carpeting,
students can see other reno-vations
by the physical plant.
An example is the gym floor.
In past years the markings for
the basketball court on the
gym floor allowed for a border
area around the court of ap-proximately
one foot. This
year the markings have been
widened to a three foot border.
The volleyball lines have been
changed to accommodate the
new metric measurements. An-other
improvement made in
the gyth was coating the wood
bleachers with a protective
sealer.
A further addition was the
installation of tiles at the en-trance
of the physical educa-tion
building. Tiles were also
installed at the west end of
the AC building on both first
and second floors.
Access to the seminary from
the college was improved as
well. The road on the west
side of the campus between
the college and the seminary
was upgraded, as well as the
path from Arden Village. West

The bill to remove the glass
from the Beef Board lost by a
narrow margin in a vote of 8
to 7 during the Senate meet-ing
last Monday night in the
AC lounge.
The bill was voted down
despite the results of a survey
conducted for a class by Les
Laroche, sophomore senator.
The survey, sent out to 2100
students last week, revealed
283 responses to remove the
glass, 85 to keep it and 54 who
voted indifference.
Results of the survey fa-cilitated
discussion as to how
senators should vote as rep-resentatives
of the student
body. Joy Skjegstad, fresh-man
senator, said, "The sur-vey
was a good idea but a
one-on-one interview with
constituents would give a
more accurate response."
Arguments previously
raised to senators by stu-also
in the process of being
installed.
The major renovation by
the physical plant is not actu-ally
seen by students, but it
should pay for itself in less
than two years. This is the
addition of a computerized
energy management system.
This $35,000 system replaces
the rental unit from Honey-well.
"This new system con-trols
and monitors the flow of
energy for the school," noted
Wiegner. This includes such
utilities as electricity and air-conditioning.
dents for the bill, concerning
censorship and the lack of
spontaneity, were also dis-cussed.
Patty Eastman, sen-ator
at large and oppponent of
the bill, felt the students' mis-understanding
of the glass's
intent was due to the poor
presentation of it from the
start.
Charlie Rhetts, dean of men
and student senate advisor,
thanked the senators for the
research they did on the Beef
Board issue. Their efforts to
represent the student body
was appreciated.
Craig Johnson, Bethel Stu-dent
Association (BSA) trea-surer,
encouraged senators to
read the funding requests re-cently
submitted to the sen-ate
by various student or-ganizations.
The Rules and
Finance Committee will re-search
each organization's
needs and report back to the
senate.

j BOX Prayer day
emphasizes
small groups
by Lynnette Monter
Campus Day of Prayer,
planned for Nov. 3, will em-phasize
the importance of
prayer in small group situa-tions
as well as individually,
according to Steve Lemon,
coordinator for campus day
of prayer.
"I would like to encourage
those involved in small groups
to pray for a day in prepara-tion
for this event," Lemon
said.
The whole thrust of this
semester's prayer day is to
invite students to become
aware of small support groups
on campus. "These groups are
something that not everyone
takes advantage of," Lemon
said.
The celebration will begin
with a special chapel service
and conclude with an evening
communion service.
Students as well as faculty
feel a need for "a renewed
sense of the Spirit on cam-pus,"
Pastor Spickelmier said.
Although classes will be
held as usual, Lemon encour-ages
faculty to talk to classes
about prayer and small group
prayer.
Spring will hold a more
formal day of prayer with
fasting and praise throughout
the day.

As a practitioner in the area of the biological or life sciences,
I am continually besieged by the overwhelming glut of infor-mation
on parts or processes in living things. With such quan-tities
of highly detailed and sophisticated knowledge, surely
we would expect to understand what life is really about and
should therefore be able to make meaningful decisions regard-ing
its nature and management.
Yet when I look around, it is clear that we have many
serious problems; we really understand precious little about
the intricacies within living organisms; neither do we realize
or appreciate the tenuous threads which hold the diverse
forms of living things together in integral relationships to each
other. It is precisely in the area of relationships that our own
lives become rich or poor in meaning.
Few of us clearly sense the oneness we share with all living
things. Man's physical self is constructed of the very same
"stuff" that makes up all other living things. This means that
actions we initiate or pursue which are detrimental to some
segment of living forms or people about us will ultimately
come to roost in our own nests.
Small insults on the quality of life for purposes of temporary
or small benefits for ourselves produce what one economist
has called the "tyranny of small decisions" for the collective
whole. Each little innocuous maneuver compounds with oth-ers
to eventually produce large, unmanageable conditions.
This has been especially apparent in the realm of environmen-tal
quality, where such short-sighted notions as "the solution
to pollution is dilution" can be heard.
The key to avoiding this difficulty appears to lie in "the
development of a holistic view of the world around us." The
general trend in science and society at large is to do the oppo-site,
to be more reductionistic, to dissect the problems into
discrete units which can be handled more easily. We tend to
quickly lose consciousness of both the relatedness and inter-actions
between these units and make false assumptions
about their singular significance. We end up giving priority to
some factors which achieve this exalted status more from our
parochial interest or because they are the ones we are
equipped to deal with, rather than because of any innate value
in themselves. We make issues of many items, granting them
such singular importance that "Christ Himself would be con-cerned,
if He knew all the facts."
This frequently disconnects essential elements to the point
where they escape the moderating, integrating and regulating
influences about them. When one component is removed from
its commitment to and cooperation with the whole, this "deci-sion"
has serious effects on the remainder. When cells in living
organisms do this, they are called cancers. The selfish charac-ter
of singular priorities destroys proper functions and rela-tionships
and often leads to invasion into domains which
neither want it nor can restrain it effectively. We struggle to
beat it back as we direct a whole barrage of rays and special
potions at it, frequently to no avail. Usually the whole orga-nism
ultimately succumbs and the very life goes out of it.
Our theologies and spiritual lives often suffer from similar
maladies. We tend to concentrate on units of activity such as
daily devotions, church attendance, right behaviours, avoid-ance
of temptation and the like. By frequent over-emphasis on
isolated types of thought or behaviours, we pull apart the
fabric of Christianity and weave some new type of cloth that
covers only those areas of nakedness we feel are shameful, or
adorn those parts which are surely to be glorified, while the
other parts of the body remain exposed to the raw harshness of
life. Even God becomes a "God of the gaps.," filling in the areas
where lack of understanding or weaknesses remain, rather
than being the permeating, filling presence in every moment
and aspect of our lives that He desires to be.
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his soul?" It makes little difference whether
you call it community, cooperation, or some other word; the
living relationship which flows from the human ability to love,
together with the commitment to one another it requires—
these constitute the cement which binds us to and links us
within the Body of Christ.
Dr. Art Lewis plans on using his 1614 Geneva Bible in his introductory
Bible classes. Velie/photo
"Breeches Bible"
forms in to as
shire, 1784 are two examples. •
Lewis plans to take the
Geneva Bible to the Univer-sity
of Minnesota library and
other libraries for evaluation.
"It will give me an opportun-ity,
an avenue, of sharing the
Word of God," said Lewis.
This year Lewis will be
using the Bible in his fresh-man
classes when they talk
about Bible transmission. "It
will show the students how
the Bible has been preserved,"
said Lewis.
The Geneva Bible or the
"Breeches Bible" stands out
because it is one of the most
important translations of our
time. "The translation found
in Genesis 3:7 which uses
"breeches" is the reason the
Bible gets its nickname," said
Lewis. Genesis 3:7 mentions
where Adam and Eve sewed
fig leaves to make clothes.
The Geneva Bible was the
first English Bible divided into
verses and with study notes
around the page. It was also
the first Bible to be published
in flexible wooden type in
Scotland.
The Bible contains a hymn-book,
dictionary, many geo-graphical
maps and an elabo-rate
outline of the 12 tribes.
Fastened with bronzed straps,
the book weighs 5 pounds.
The cowhide cover has been
preserved and still has a faint
trace of the original design.
The pages, made of a heavy
paper, are also in good con-dition.
Some previous owners of
this Bible wrote their names
in it. Most of the names are
faded; still, a few names and
dates are recognizable. Eliza-beth

A Geneva Bible, dated 1614,
was presented as a gift this
summer to Dr. Art Lewis, pro-fessor
in Biblical studies. Mrs.
Frances Kramer Kapple, a per-sonal
friend and concert viol-inist
with the L'Abri Ensem-ble,
gave the Bible to Lewis
when the group was perform-ing
a concert here in the area.
The ancient Bible "repre-sents
the light through the
centuries—that God has not
left us without his Word,"
said Lewis. He plans to write an article
on the importance of this
Bible. The Geneva Bible is
important to Christian stu-dents
because "it links us with
the saints 400 to 500 years
ago who were martyred to
preserve God's Word," said
Lewis.
The Geneva Bible is in a
glass-enclosed case outside of
Lewis' office in the AC build-ing.

Schiffer - closet comic collector
by Tammy Gregersen
When Frank Schiffer, the
mild-mannered Clark Kent in
the audio-visuals department
leaves Bethel every night, he
is suddenly transformed into
Frank Schiffer, the wheelin',
dealin' collector and dealer of
comic books.
His personal collection,
started back in the mid-1960 s,
contains over 500 comic
books. Schiffer also started a
dealership two years ago
which now contains in excess
of over 12,000 books.
Dealing in everything from
Mighty Mouse to Superman,
Schiffer has comic books dat-ing
from the early 1940s to
the present. His oldest per-sonal
collectors' issue is
Superman (edition 21) pub-lished
in 1942. Superman is
now on its 375th issue. The
market price on his Super-man
comic is about $75. Some
comic books, like the first edi-tion
of Batman, run over
$10,000.
"Some people do it (deal in
'comic books) for a living,"
CAAC, from page 3
CAAC works with the
school calendar—holidays,
starting and ending dates—
and also handles senior gra-duation
appeals.
Some other student/faculty
committees include the Ath-letic
Advisory Committee, con-cerned
with the proposed field-house;
the Chapel and Spirit-ual
Life Committee; the Con-vocation
Committee; and the
Public Affairs Policy Commit-tee,
which views Bethel's re-lations
with outside churches
and organizations.
The committees meet the
second Tuesday of each
month, with the fourth Tues-said
Schiffer. "Far me, it's a
hobby that pays for itself. As
far as mass profit goes, I won't
get rich or anything."
"I liked comic books as a
kid," said Schiffer. "I had a
friend who always came over
and read comic books to me
before I could even read. Then
I did a lot of comic book read-ing
in my early to mid teens.
The dealership got started
when I was basically looking
for comics for my own collec-tions,
and got some I didn't
want. I found out the comic
book business was half-way
profitable."
Schiffer also attends con-ventions.
"You set up your
wares like a large flea mar-ket,"
said Schiffer. "Prices are
determined by supply and de-mand.
People participating in
the convention range from
those who can't see over the
table to those collecting social
security." Throughout his life-time,
Schiffer estimated that
he had read about 5,000 comic
books. "I really don't have too
much time to read them now,
though," said Schiffer.
day as an optional additional
meeting time.
Goodwin says that open-ings
exist on most commit-tees.
He welcomes students to
express their interest to him
concerning an opening.
Holmes also encourages
students to get involved. "Beth-el
has a governance situation
where a person might feel he
can't get to the inside—that's
why it's so important to have
students actively participat-ing
on committees," he said.
"The faculty wants to give as
much responsibility as pos-sible
to the students. We great-ly
'value their contribution to
our governance process."
There are two main pub-lishers
of comic books: Mar-vel,
who created Sprderman
and the Incredible Hulk, and
DC Comics, who created
Superman, Batman, and Won-der
Woman. "Presently, the
Marvel Comics are becoming
more realistic with death, kill-
.ing and heartache being com-mon
themes," siad Schiffer.
"When I was growing up, it
was a fun world—the good
guys always won. Comic
books were a means of escape
then, not like some of the
blood and guts ones of today."
The content of today's
comic books is much more
varied. Publishers are print-ing
everything from those on
salvation, to pornographic
and X-rated comics. "A lot of
criticism is going on in comic
book writing today as to
some of the content," said
Schiffer.
"It's a fun hobby: I enjoy it," -
said Schiffer. "If anyone has a
collection, and is interested in
a little tuition money, come
and see me."

Writing papers is a task all
college students must endure.
The Writing Center, located
in AC 320, is a place where
students can get help when
they are stumped with a
paper.
"I see the Writing Center as
having a three-prong service,"
said Lynn Fauth, coordinator
of the Writing Center. "First
of all, it is to help students
who do have ability to write a
polished paper. We try to raise
competent writers to excel-lence.
This is the category
that contains 95% of the
students."
"The second purpose is to
help . students with very se-rious
writing problems, but
there are very few of them.
When we do come 'across a
person who needs a lot of
help, either Anne Rosenthal-
Siemers (assistant coordina-tor
of the Writing Center) or I
usually handle it. In other
words, we help raise the few
students who can't write to a
level of competency."
"Thirdly, although there
are not many, we try to help
excellent writers become su-perior,"
said Fauth.
"Most schools have writing
centers because they recog-nize
the need," said Fauth.
"Here at Bethel, we do a lot for
very little. Our budget is very
small. We don't get into gim-micks.
The key to our effec-tiveness
is the one-to-one
help."
Signing paychecks, giving
the center credibility, and
evangelizing Writing Center
services among the faculty
are some of the roles Fauth
and Rosenthal-Siemers play
as the coordinators. They also
play a major part in hiring the
staff.
"Basically I look for two
things in a tutor," said Fauth.
"I'm looking for competent
writers and understanding
people. The tutors are also
learning writers and must
work at it. They must under-stand
the struggles of the
client, see the need, and help
it."
Rosenthal-Siemers said,
"We help writers express their
own ideas more clearly. The
most valuable service the
tutors have to offer is to read
the student's paper so the stu-dent
can see it through the
eyes of someone else."
Karen Coleman, a tutor in
the Writing Center, said,
"There are a lot of facets con-nected
with the Writing Cen-ter.
I see my job as helping
people formulate, organize,
and support ideas and make
those ideas understandable to
others. In other words, we
can help anybody at any stage
in writing a paper. In addi-tion,
we can help students
with spelling and grammati-cal
problems."
"Because writing is an indi-vidual
and personal art, it is
important for us to recognize
that each person has an indi-vidual
style," said Coleman.
"No matter what a student's
competency level in writing
is, it always is helpful to have
a second opinion," said Cole-man,
"often just for reassu-rance
that you're on the right
track."
"We're not here to cut down
a student's writing," said Cole-man.
"We understand the prob-lems
and we're here to help.
We all go through the same
difficulties and fears."

Wallace leads Royals in River Falls race
by Wendy Norberg
Greg "Wally" Wallace ran
an exceptional race and led
the men's cross country team
to a fifth-place finish in last
weekend's "Mean Green" In-vitational

Wisc.-River Falls. The St.

first place.

Participation in intramural
sports is much greater this
year than last. Tempest Nix-on
and Craig Haugen, Bethel's
intramural student directors,
work with six student super-visors
to organize the pro-gram.
Under the direction of
George Palke, assistant pro-fessor
in physical education,
the staff serves the Bethel
community.
Increased publicity is said
to have had an impact on the
positive turnout. An oppor-tunity
fair was held during
Welcome Week, where the in-tramural
program sponsored
a booth for the first time.
The men have always had a
big part in the activities, said
Nixon and Haugen, but this
year more emphasis will be
on female involvement. A
change which may help sup-port
this emphasis is the
movement of women's open
league basketball from inte-rim
to fall. Since broomball is
a major interim sport in
which many women partici-pate,
the change is hoped to

Varsity regulars John Clark
and Mark Channer did not
race last weekend because,
said Coach Whittaker, "we're
resting these last two weeks
encourage more female in-volvement
in other intramu-ral
activities.
The main goal of Bethel's
intramural sports program is
increased participation to cre-ate
a good fellowship. "We're
not looking necessarily as to
who wins," says Haugen, "but
to improve students physical-ly
as well as socially."
"We'd like to look at it as
more than a 'jock atmos-phere,'
placing importance on
a sense of cooperation," adds
Nixon.
With the exception of one
member, the intramural staff
is entirely new this year. Both
Haugen and Nixon admit that
they are experimenting with
trial and error.
Some new ideas in mind for
this year include floor hockey
for men which would take
place in February or March,
and also the possibility of
wrist wrestling for both men
and women. They are hoping
to see co-ed softball continue
this spring as last year was
the first time it had been offer-ed

Jim Miller was a stalwart
on defense for Bethel, coming
up with 20 tackles for the
Royals and drawing high
praise from his coach.
"Jimmy had one of the most
spectacular days I've seen him
have," said Lutton of his all-conference
linebacker.
While the defense managed
to hold off Concordia for much
of the game, the offense had
trouble trying to penetrate the
MIAC's top defense. The
Royals never had a good scor-ing
opportunity and failed to
get inside Concordia's 30-yard
line.
The most consistent offen-sive
play was throwing the
ball to end Byron Johnson,
whether it came from the arm
of Steve Doten or Rhett Bon-ner.
Johnson had seven
catches for 115 yards as Doten
and Bonner alternated at the
quarterback spot.
Lutton realized that his
team, comprised of mostly
freshmen and sophomores,
still has a way to go but
thinks his program is headed
in the right direction.
"One of these days we'll be
able to play with them (Con-cordia)
and I think that day
will come sooner than later,"
he said.
The Royals go on the road
again this Saturday, traveling
to Chicago to take on Olivet
Nazerene.

Bethel women's soccer has
started its third season with a
2 - 1 record. The 24 women in
the club are coached by Tom
Persico, senior.
Two years ago Persico and
others decided that women
should have a soccer program.
A plan for a women's soccer
club was brought before Stu-dent
Senate and George Palke,
assistant professor in physi-cal
education, in fall 1980.
Two months later, women's
soccer was approved and it
began in the spring of 1981.
It was hard to find schools
to compete with in the spring
so this year women's soccer
was switched to fall. The rea-son,
according to Persico, was
because all the MIAC schools
were turning varsity and play-ing
in the fall.
Although many of the play-ers
are new, Persico said he
admires the effort they put in
the game. "I have never seen
such quality and joy—their
energy is encouraging to see."
The main goal is to establish
team unity and fellowship
with one another on the field.
Included in that goal is "serv-ing
the Lord and being a wit-ness
to the other schools,"
according to Persico.
Women's soccer club plays
against the private schools in
the area, and some state
schools such as the U of M
and St. Cloud. According to
Persico, many of the teams it
has gone up against are expe-rienced
and tough. In the up-coming
games "they might be
surprised that we have a lot
of talent on the team," he said.
In the future, Persico would
like to see the club become a
team. As a team, women's
soccer would have a budget,
which Persico said would
"ease things all around by
supplying uniforms and gas
money."
The next women's soccer
game will be Saturday, Oct.
23 at the U of M.

Johnson's trio
trips Tommies
in shut-out win
by John Lilleberg
The soccer team upped its
conference- record to 6-0- 2
with a solid 3 -0 win over a
tough St. Thomas squad. The
shut-out victory, the Royals'
second this season, was high-lighted
by impressive defen-sive
play. Playing particularly
well defensively were sweeper
Steve Figini and outside full-back
Steve Schottmuller.
All three Bethel goals were
scored by Mark Johnson.
Johnson scored late in the
first half then added two more
in the second half. Two of the
goals were set up by Bobby
Clark; Mark Schlenker as-sisted
with the other.
Assistant Coach Andy
Larson noted, "The defense
played well," and added, "It
wasn't a real pretty game—
but we won."
On Oct. 23 the Royals play
the Oles at St. Olaf. This is
followed by the long-awaited
clash against the Johnnies at
St. John's on Wednesday, Oc-tober
27.
Bethel soccer club
starts third season
Royals manage to contain Cobbers... temporarily
by John Clark
Bethel football coach Dud
Lutton hopes he never devel-ops
a taste for losing, but
after holding the defending
national champions to one
touchdown for almost three
quarters he was pleased with
his Royal team even in defeat.
The final score was 28-0 in
favor of the Concordia Cob-bers
in the game played Oct.
17. The game, scheduled to be
,played at Moorhead, was
moved to Fargo due to poor
field conditions.
"I felt better about this game
than a lot of games we've
played this year," said Lutton
of the Concordia contest.
"Sometimes the scoreboard is
a little irrelevant to good
play."
In this case the scoreboard
was irrelevant in two ways.
The game was close until Con-cordia
scored late in the third
quarter to take a 14-0 lead. If
not for a steller defensive per-formance
by the Bethel de-fense,
the game could have
been a total blowout, wit-nessed
by the Cobbers 474-
193 advantage in total offense.
Concordia scored the first
time it had the ball, marching
96 yards to take a 7-0 lead. It
was a long time, however,
before the Cobbers saw the
light of the end zone. Three
minutes remained in the third
quarter when Concordia iced
the game with its second TD.
"They certainly are a very,
very good team," stated Lut-ton.
"It was difficult to keep
them out of the end zone. We
just got worn down."
The key for Bethel was forc-ing
the Cobbers to make long
drives rather than turn the
ball over and allow for quick
scores.
"I think our offense did a
good job of handling the ball
and controlling the offense,"
said Lutton. "The big thing for
us was that we made them
travel the length of the field."

Spikers sweep three, gain conference confidence
by Todd Erickson
A sweep of three matches
during the week did wonders
for the Royal volleyball team's
confidence, to say nothing of
its conference standing.
Bethel now stands at 6- 1 in
the conference, one game be-hind
undefeated Macalester;
after disposing of St. Thomas,
Augsburg, and Concordia.
The Royals began the week
with a grueling five-game
match against St. Thomas,
coming from behind to win 5-
15, 10- 15, 15-8, 15-9, and 15- 3.
"St. Thomas had a really
quick offense," said Coach
Cindy Book, "and we honestly
weren't ready for it."
Book cited some defensiye,
adjustments and some strong
team confidence as reasons
for the Royals' encouraging
comeback.
Book also made mention of
the stand-out play of Shelly
Sorenson, Pam Madson, and
Katy Rott during the highly
emotional struggle against the
Tommies.
The second match of the
week, against Augsburg, was
"an excellent match," accord-ing
to Book, with Bethel vic-tories
in four games, 6- 15, 15-
10, 15- 11, and 15- 11.
"Pat Jones played the best
game I've ever seen her play,"
said Book.
Bethel struggled a bit more
than Book thought they should
have against Concordia, drop-
. ping the Rame before
winning 12-15, 15-8, 16-14,
and 16-14.
"That was a tough game for
us mentally, probably more
than anything else," said Book.
She was referring to the two
highly-emotional matches
earlier in the week, and how it
was hard to hold that level of
play on a Friday match.
"We certainly can play bet-ter,"
said Book of the Concor-dia
match, "but again, that
desire to win was there, and
we just held tough."
The Royals were down 1-
10 in the third game of that
match, but proved how they
could "hang tough" by out-scoring
the Cobbers 15-4 from
that point.

Townhouses filled bill for fast; inexpensive housing
by Neal Bernards
Bethel townhouses are tem-porary
structures—true or
false? False, according to' the
housing staff.
"The rumor that the town-houses
are temporary is a
Bethel myth," said Mack Net-tleton,
associate dean of stu-by
Diane Henry
The monkey that escaped
from Como Zoo in June was
captured Sunday, Oct. 10. It
had been seen on the Bethel
campus by a few students.
Betsy Elvig, junior, saw it
Sept. 19 while jogging near
the seminary. The monkey
was behind the seminary
housing, climbing on a fence.
Becky Arndt, senior, saw it
Sept. 20 on Bethel Drive. She
said, "It was sitting in a tree,
and it was really cute. At first
I thought it was a cat, but
then I saw that it didn't have
pointed ears. It talked to me,
and I talked back, but I can't
explain the noises. It looked
hungry."
On Sept. 20 the monkey
was seen by a few Bethel stu-dents,
sitting in a tree near
interstate highway 35W, eat-ing
a banana.
John Fletcher, director, of
dent development. "The build-ings
are amortized (financed)
on a 30-year basis, which is
not very temporary."
Students first occupied the
townhouses in February 1973,
a time of great enrollment
increases. "The school grew
by leaps .and bounds in the
early 70 s, and dorms would
have taken too long to con-struct,"
said Greg Hamann,
director of resident life.
"Money was ,tight, and they
(the Bethel administration) did
the best job they could under
the circumstances."
An extension of Nelson
Residence was originally
planned to house additional
students, but funds were short
and a desperate need arose
for residences. Townhouses
were the quickest and cheap-est
way to get students on
campus.
"Any wooden structure
built in a college setting is
considered temporary because
of the wear," said Hamann.
"The townhouses are tempo-rary
only in comparison to
brick buildings, which are
designed to last 100 years."
"Wood may not be as dur-able
as brick, but it is less
expensive," said Nettleton.
"The townhouses were con-structed
like traditional fam-ily
dwellings, complete with
sheet rock and insulation."
Unlike Nelson Residence,
which was constructed with
donated money, Arden Village
East and West were subsi-dized
by low-interest Hous-ing
and Urban Development
(HUD) loans. Bethel had to
meet certain regulations to
quilify for these loans. The
residences must be easily
convertible into apartments.
Pipe's for kitchen use were
installed in a bedroom closet
of each townhouse to allow
conversion to apartments
should Bethel go bankrupt.
The townhouses' per-bed
construction costs were
cheaper than those of Edgren
and Bodien Residences com-bined.
The townhouses, with
a capacity of 456 people, cost
$1.65 million, while Edgren
and Bodien, with a capacity
of 278, cost $1.99 million.
Every year $40,000 to
$45,000 is spent on townhouse
repairs. Much of the money
goes toward complete redeco-ration
of 20 townhouses each
summer. "We have replaced
75 per cent of the carpet and
purchased new furniture.
That is a large investment in
long-term improvements,"
said Hamann.
There is no plan to replace
the townhouses because of
prohibitive construction costs.
"The money paid by students
now for housing would not
even pay for the interest rates
on buildings similar to Edgren
and Bodien," said Steve Liss-ner,
director of campus plan-ning.
No fund-raising drives
can be started for new dormi-tories
until finances for the
fieldhouse are set.

■•11■._ editorial
Dear editor,
I want to compliment
Tammy, Gregersen and the
Clarion for their excellent treat-ment
of information in the
security article (Oct. 8). The
composition was succinct and
reported the facts without
"puffing," a distorting tech-nique
commonly used in the
journalism field.
I particularly liked the in-struction
to the Bethel com-munity
that "security is every-body's
business." This- is the
crux to reducing security vio-lations
in our fine institution.
I often regret seeing valuable
articles lying around our halls
day after day which can be
easily acquired by someone
who has a propensity for
thievery.
I think your article can have
a good effect on improving
security at Bethel. Thanks.

Dear editor,
The one element that lies
deep within the heart of the
Bethel community is love. But
what is love? Can it really be
defined like any other corn-mon
noun in the English lan-guage?
Webster defines love
as "a feeling of strong personal
attachment induced by sym-pathetic
understanding, or by
ties of kinship; ardent affec-tion."
This definition sounds
rather cold and technical. It
doesn't really bring out the
true meaning of the word love.
Love is more than mere "per-sonal
attachment," love is car-ing,
it is sharing, it is under-standing
and helping.
editor's note:
Some material was uninten-tionally
omitted from M. Roe's
letter on nudear disarmament
(Oct. 1 5). The list of scientists
who say that U.S. and Soviet
arsenals have "rough equality"
should have included Dr. Kurt
Gottfried, professor of physics
and nuclear studies at Cornell
University; among organiza-tions
whose members support
nuclear disarmament should
hove been the Union of Con-cerned
Scientists and the Feder-ation
of American Scientists.
Love brings a sense of sat-isfaction
and peace. Some-times
we get so busy and
caught up in our own little
worlds that we forget to show
any love. We tend to become
harsh and forgetful of others,
even though they may be go-ing
through the same trials as
we are.
When I think of love, I think
of the book of Philippians.
Paul is writing this letter
during his imprisonment in
Rome, and yet he can still
write in chapter one, verses
nine through eleven: "And this
is my prayer: that your love
may abound more and more
in knowledge and be pure and
blameless until the day of
Christ, filled with the fruit of
righteousness that comes
through Jesus Christ—to the
glory and praise of God."
We, too, as Christians,
should be "filled with the fruit
of righteousness," ready to

Music
disguised
as Christian
Dear editor,
The posters for a recent
Christian music concert ad-vertise
"Our rock is not their
rock." It sounds reassuring,
but how is Christian music
different?
I think that some Christian
music is simply secular music
with Christian lyrics. This al-lows
Christians to enjoy the
pleasures of the world and
yet not feel guilty. All we
have to do is change the lyrics
and that makes the music
convey a whole different
meaning. Right?
If I sing the words to "Happy
Birthday" to the tune of "Auld
Lang Syne," would you think
about a birthday party or New
Year's Eve? Most people do
not know the words to "Auld
Lang Syne," yet the feelings
the song evokes are univer-sal.
The music style speaks
just as loud as the lyrics.
Many Christians believe
secular rock is evil. The prob-lem
is they still enjoy the
style. The solution, it seems,
has been to bring the Gospel
down to the level of secular
rock styles. Then, supposedly,
a person -can be blessed by
listening to the Christian
words. Yet we still have the
style speaking to us—remem-ber?
Isn't it time we consider
music for what it really says
to us? Let's admit that all sec-ular
music is not evil, and
that all Christian music is not
automatically good.
If we could lessen the fear
we have of the secular, maybe
we wouldn't have to cling to
Christian rock. We should
consider all types of music,
based on lyrics, style and
audience response, to deter-mine
which music is compat-ible
with our Christian life-style.
Are we deceived in believ-ing
Christian music is "all for
the glory of God" when it is
really "all for our guiltless
enjoyment?"

PO 185
Honest prioritizing
cements commitment We all have expectations placed upon us and -
responsibilities to meet. The problems seems that as the
semester has gotten busier for students, faculty, staff and
administration we begin to fall short of our responsibilities.
We are too busy to meet the person we promised to have
lunch with, we miss due dates or work deadlines and we
do not put in the effort we should in our work.
When this begins to happen we need to reassess our
activities and responsibilities to see how we stack up in
meeting them. It may be time for us to do a little
restructuring. This begins with establishing priority
responsibilities and time commitments. We may have to
leave out something we want to do, such as attending that
other committee meeting.
In addition to the fact that our bodies can only handle so
much activity without time for replenishment, we need to do
an adequate job in our work. We should not be doing just
and amount needed to get by or forcing our co-workers on
the job or in the group to pick up extra work. We should
honestly evaluate what we can do and what we are just not
able to handle in our schedules.
We have to be honest in this evaluation, though. With
midterms coming it is easy to say that we just do not have
the time because of studies. We can only study so many
hours of the day and a certain balance must be maintained.
Spending all of our time studying often leads to a tired mind
and ineffective studying. All of this can result in inner
frustration that we are not accomplishing what we want
or need to.
We need to look at our evaluation of priorities, set aside
time, and tackle one thing at a time. If we really want to do
those things to which we commit ourselves we should be
able to find time for them in our schedules—time to meet the
expectations and our responsibilities.

"FINCH "Fish," Sigmond muttered to himself as he pulled the plow
through the field. "If that stinkin' work horse wouldn't have
died I could be sleeping in the barn right now." As the days of
plowing continued his attitude worsened. He began missing
the weekly council meetings held by the animals. One morning
as the farmer came into the barn to hitch Sigmond up to the
plow Sigmond muttered to himself again. "Forget this garbage,
donkeys were not made by God to plow fields. I'm not a work
horse, no more plowing for me." He wished that he could
scream "GO AWAY" at the farmer.
At the next weekly meeting Sigmond was the main topic of
the animals' discussion. The big .sow spoke first. "That dumb
donkey, he seems to be all wrapped up in himself."
"Yea," the heifer said, "we all do what's expected of us for the
farmer, but Sigmond just sits in that stuffy barn on his tail."
"You're right," said the lamb, "it's not fair that we do all the
work and his lack of work jeopardizes the farm. If the farmer
can't plant in the field he won't have anything to sell."
"Without sales," interrupted the sow, "the farmer would
have to get rid of the farm, which means he would have to get
rid of us."
"It seems as if he resists the tendency to care 'or do good,"
said the hog.
"He's just plain apathetic and selfish." The heifer walked
over to the fence and rested her head on the upper rung. "I care,
but what can we do to help?"
"Nothing," said the lamb, "it's up to him. He needs to become
aware of how much his actions have hurt others."
"I just wish that he would quit making such a donkey out of
himself," added the heifer.. -
Two weeks after the "For Sale" sign had been planted in the
yard, the farmer decided that Sigmond should go to the glue
factory. Sigmond was unable to work because he had devel-oped
swayback. He bathed himself in self pity.
Sigmond never felt comfortable, but he was unwilling to
admit this to himself. As Sigmond stood in line with the other
animals awaiting his execution, the old beat-up horse in front
of him turned his head and said, "I realize now what I have
caused others to go through, but it's too late for me. My time
has come. Your life is just beginning, turn back and right your
wrong."
"Ouuuuuuch," Sigmond said when he realized what he had
done.
That same afternoon Sigmond was back in the field plow-ing,
the "For Sale" sign was in the garbage, the farmer had a
field to plant in, and the animals rejoiced.

major goal this year is curric-ulum
revision.
"The present curriculum
doesn't reflect students' needs
like it might," Holmes said.
"The revision probably will
not be a complete overhaul,
but more likely will focus on
such issues as graduation re-quirements."
The current phase involves
faculty and student opinion
probes, and some "pilot-test-ing"
will occur in 1983 -84.
Both Holmes and Goodwin
encourage students to express
their concern to a student rep-resentative

Have you ever wondered
how the dean's office arrives
at the final curriculum choices
for interim?
"Around February or
March, each faculty member
makes a proposal for a class
they would like to teach," said
Tricia Brownlee, director of
academic programs. "The Cur-riculum
Committee reviews it
and decides whether to rec-ommend
it to this office. In
September, if there are gaps
in the curriculum, we ap-proach
part-time teachers to
see it they have anything to
add."
"The policy is that no one
class can be offered two years
in a row," said Brownlee.
"This makes for a fresh and
new program each year. There
are usually more new courses
than repeated ones."
"I think this year's interim
is one of the best," said Brown-lee.
"The curriculum contains
creative, unique, and interest-ing
courses—maybe more
than ever before."

Renovations improve physical plant, gym and carpeting
by Dave Pikal
Over the summer renova-tions
were made in both the
college and the seminary. One
example of this is the new
carpeting located in AC2,
AC3, FA3, FA4, and rooms
AC 203 and 228.
"The carpeting which was
replaced was the original car-peting,"
said Jim Wiegner, su-pervisor
of custodial services.
"It was laid in 1972 and was
getting worn out. The AC
lounge was in particular need
of new carpeting. However,
we don't sell the old carpet-ing.
It is given to area churches
and other organizations."
"Part of our job is to assess
what renovations are needed,"
said Jim Woods, director of
the physical plant. "We select
target areas where improve-ment
is needed, determine the
cost, and submit them to the
general budget. We receive
budgetary guidelines for our
department, which we take
into consideration as we prior-itize
various target areas."
Besides the new carpeting,
students can see other reno-vations
by the physical plant.
An example is the gym floor.
In past years the markings for
the basketball court on the
gym floor allowed for a border
area around the court of ap-proximately
one foot. This
year the markings have been
widened to a three foot border.
The volleyball lines have been
changed to accommodate the
new metric measurements. An-other
improvement made in
the gyth was coating the wood
bleachers with a protective
sealer.
A further addition was the
installation of tiles at the en-trance
of the physical educa-tion
building. Tiles were also
installed at the west end of
the AC building on both first
and second floors.
Access to the seminary from
the college was improved as
well. The road on the west
side of the campus between
the college and the seminary
was upgraded, as well as the
path from Arden Village. West

The bill to remove the glass
from the Beef Board lost by a
narrow margin in a vote of 8
to 7 during the Senate meet-ing
last Monday night in the
AC lounge.
The bill was voted down
despite the results of a survey
conducted for a class by Les
Laroche, sophomore senator.
The survey, sent out to 2100
students last week, revealed
283 responses to remove the
glass, 85 to keep it and 54 who
voted indifference.
Results of the survey fa-cilitated
discussion as to how
senators should vote as rep-resentatives
of the student
body. Joy Skjegstad, fresh-man
senator, said, "The sur-vey
was a good idea but a
one-on-one interview with
constituents would give a
more accurate response."
Arguments previously
raised to senators by stu-also
in the process of being
installed.
The major renovation by
the physical plant is not actu-ally
seen by students, but it
should pay for itself in less
than two years. This is the
addition of a computerized
energy management system.
This $35,000 system replaces
the rental unit from Honey-well.
"This new system con-trols
and monitors the flow of
energy for the school," noted
Wiegner. This includes such
utilities as electricity and air-conditioning.
dents for the bill, concerning
censorship and the lack of
spontaneity, were also dis-cussed.
Patty Eastman, sen-ator
at large and oppponent of
the bill, felt the students' mis-understanding
of the glass's
intent was due to the poor
presentation of it from the
start.
Charlie Rhetts, dean of men
and student senate advisor,
thanked the senators for the
research they did on the Beef
Board issue. Their efforts to
represent the student body
was appreciated.
Craig Johnson, Bethel Stu-dent
Association (BSA) trea-surer,
encouraged senators to
read the funding requests re-cently
submitted to the sen-ate
by various student or-ganizations.
The Rules and
Finance Committee will re-search

j BOX Prayer day
emphasizes
small groups
by Lynnette Monter
Campus Day of Prayer,
planned for Nov. 3, will em-phasize
the importance of
prayer in small group situa-tions
as well as individually,
according to Steve Lemon,
coordinator for campus day
of prayer.
"I would like to encourage
those involved in small groups
to pray for a day in prepara-tion
for this event," Lemon
said.
The whole thrust of this
semester's prayer day is to
invite students to become
aware of small support groups
on campus. "These groups are
something that not everyone
takes advantage of," Lemon
said.
The celebration will begin
with a special chapel service
and conclude with an evening
communion service.
Students as well as faculty
feel a need for "a renewed
sense of the Spirit on cam-pus,"
Pastor Spickelmier said.
Although classes will be
held as usual, Lemon encour-ages
faculty to talk to classes
about prayer and small group
prayer.
Spring will hold a more
formal day of prayer with
fasting and praise throughout
the day.

As a practitioner in the area of the biological or life sciences,
I am continually besieged by the overwhelming glut of infor-mation
on parts or processes in living things. With such quan-tities
of highly detailed and sophisticated knowledge, surely
we would expect to understand what life is really about and
should therefore be able to make meaningful decisions regard-ing
its nature and management.
Yet when I look around, it is clear that we have many
serious problems; we really understand precious little about
the intricacies within living organisms; neither do we realize
or appreciate the tenuous threads which hold the diverse
forms of living things together in integral relationships to each
other. It is precisely in the area of relationships that our own
lives become rich or poor in meaning.
Few of us clearly sense the oneness we share with all living
things. Man's physical self is constructed of the very same
"stuff" that makes up all other living things. This means that
actions we initiate or pursue which are detrimental to some
segment of living forms or people about us will ultimately
come to roost in our own nests.
Small insults on the quality of life for purposes of temporary
or small benefits for ourselves produce what one economist
has called the "tyranny of small decisions" for the collective
whole. Each little innocuous maneuver compounds with oth-ers
to eventually produce large, unmanageable conditions.
This has been especially apparent in the realm of environmen-tal
quality, where such short-sighted notions as "the solution
to pollution is dilution" can be heard.
The key to avoiding this difficulty appears to lie in "the
development of a holistic view of the world around us." The
general trend in science and society at large is to do the oppo-site,
to be more reductionistic, to dissect the problems into
discrete units which can be handled more easily. We tend to
quickly lose consciousness of both the relatedness and inter-actions
between these units and make false assumptions
about their singular significance. We end up giving priority to
some factors which achieve this exalted status more from our
parochial interest or because they are the ones we are
equipped to deal with, rather than because of any innate value
in themselves. We make issues of many items, granting them
such singular importance that "Christ Himself would be con-cerned,
if He knew all the facts."
This frequently disconnects essential elements to the point
where they escape the moderating, integrating and regulating
influences about them. When one component is removed from
its commitment to and cooperation with the whole, this "deci-sion"
has serious effects on the remainder. When cells in living
organisms do this, they are called cancers. The selfish charac-ter
of singular priorities destroys proper functions and rela-tionships
and often leads to invasion into domains which
neither want it nor can restrain it effectively. We struggle to
beat it back as we direct a whole barrage of rays and special
potions at it, frequently to no avail. Usually the whole orga-nism
ultimately succumbs and the very life goes out of it.
Our theologies and spiritual lives often suffer from similar
maladies. We tend to concentrate on units of activity such as
daily devotions, church attendance, right behaviours, avoid-ance
of temptation and the like. By frequent over-emphasis on
isolated types of thought or behaviours, we pull apart the
fabric of Christianity and weave some new type of cloth that
covers only those areas of nakedness we feel are shameful, or
adorn those parts which are surely to be glorified, while the
other parts of the body remain exposed to the raw harshness of
life. Even God becomes a "God of the gaps.," filling in the areas
where lack of understanding or weaknesses remain, rather
than being the permeating, filling presence in every moment
and aspect of our lives that He desires to be.
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his soul?" It makes little difference whether
you call it community, cooperation, or some other word; the
living relationship which flows from the human ability to love,
together with the commitment to one another it requires—
these constitute the cement which binds us to and links us
within the Body of Christ.
Dr. Art Lewis plans on using his 1614 Geneva Bible in his introductory
Bible classes. Velie/photo
"Breeches Bible"
forms in to as
shire, 1784 are two examples. •
Lewis plans to take the
Geneva Bible to the Univer-sity
of Minnesota library and
other libraries for evaluation.
"It will give me an opportun-ity,
an avenue, of sharing the
Word of God," said Lewis.
This year Lewis will be
using the Bible in his fresh-man
classes when they talk
about Bible transmission. "It
will show the students how
the Bible has been preserved,"
said Lewis.
The Geneva Bible or the
"Breeches Bible" stands out
because it is one of the most
important translations of our
time. "The translation found
in Genesis 3:7 which uses
"breeches" is the reason the
Bible gets its nickname," said
Lewis. Genesis 3:7 mentions
where Adam and Eve sewed
fig leaves to make clothes.
The Geneva Bible was the
first English Bible divided into
verses and with study notes
around the page. It was also
the first Bible to be published
in flexible wooden type in
Scotland.
The Bible contains a hymn-book,
dictionary, many geo-graphical
maps and an elabo-rate
outline of the 12 tribes.
Fastened with bronzed straps,
the book weighs 5 pounds.
The cowhide cover has been
preserved and still has a faint
trace of the original design.
The pages, made of a heavy
paper, are also in good con-dition.
Some previous owners of
this Bible wrote their names
in it. Most of the names are
faded; still, a few names and
dates are recognizable. Eliza-beth

A Geneva Bible, dated 1614,
was presented as a gift this
summer to Dr. Art Lewis, pro-fessor
in Biblical studies. Mrs.
Frances Kramer Kapple, a per-sonal
friend and concert viol-inist
with the L'Abri Ensem-ble,
gave the Bible to Lewis
when the group was perform-ing
a concert here in the area.
The ancient Bible "repre-sents
the light through the
centuries—that God has not
left us without his Word,"
said Lewis. He plans to write an article
on the importance of this
Bible. The Geneva Bible is
important to Christian stu-dents
because "it links us with
the saints 400 to 500 years
ago who were martyred to
preserve God's Word," said
Lewis.
The Geneva Bible is in a
glass-enclosed case outside of
Lewis' office in the AC build-ing.

Schiffer - closet comic collector
by Tammy Gregersen
When Frank Schiffer, the
mild-mannered Clark Kent in
the audio-visuals department
leaves Bethel every night, he
is suddenly transformed into
Frank Schiffer, the wheelin',
dealin' collector and dealer of
comic books.
His personal collection,
started back in the mid-1960 s,
contains over 500 comic
books. Schiffer also started a
dealership two years ago
which now contains in excess
of over 12,000 books.
Dealing in everything from
Mighty Mouse to Superman,
Schiffer has comic books dat-ing
from the early 1940s to
the present. His oldest per-sonal
collectors' issue is
Superman (edition 21) pub-lished
in 1942. Superman is
now on its 375th issue. The
market price on his Super-man
comic is about $75. Some
comic books, like the first edi-tion
of Batman, run over
$10,000.
"Some people do it (deal in
'comic books) for a living,"
CAAC, from page 3
CAAC works with the
school calendar—holidays,
starting and ending dates—
and also handles senior gra-duation
appeals.
Some other student/faculty
committees include the Ath-letic
Advisory Committee, con-cerned
with the proposed field-house;
the Chapel and Spirit-ual
Life Committee; the Con-vocation
Committee; and the
Public Affairs Policy Commit-tee,
which views Bethel's re-lations
with outside churches
and organizations.
The committees meet the
second Tuesday of each
month, with the fourth Tues-said
Schiffer. "Far me, it's a
hobby that pays for itself. As
far as mass profit goes, I won't
get rich or anything."
"I liked comic books as a
kid," said Schiffer. "I had a
friend who always came over
and read comic books to me
before I could even read. Then
I did a lot of comic book read-ing
in my early to mid teens.
The dealership got started
when I was basically looking
for comics for my own collec-tions,
and got some I didn't
want. I found out the comic
book business was half-way
profitable."
Schiffer also attends con-ventions.
"You set up your
wares like a large flea mar-ket,"
said Schiffer. "Prices are
determined by supply and de-mand.
People participating in
the convention range from
those who can't see over the
table to those collecting social
security." Throughout his life-time,
Schiffer estimated that
he had read about 5,000 comic
books. "I really don't have too
much time to read them now,
though," said Schiffer.
day as an optional additional
meeting time.
Goodwin says that open-ings
exist on most commit-tees.
He welcomes students to
express their interest to him
concerning an opening.
Holmes also encourages
students to get involved. "Beth-el
has a governance situation
where a person might feel he
can't get to the inside—that's
why it's so important to have
students actively participat-ing
on committees," he said.
"The faculty wants to give as
much responsibility as pos-sible
to the students. We great-ly
'value their contribution to
our governance process."
There are two main pub-lishers
of comic books: Mar-vel,
who created Sprderman
and the Incredible Hulk, and
DC Comics, who created
Superman, Batman, and Won-der
Woman. "Presently, the
Marvel Comics are becoming
more realistic with death, kill-
.ing and heartache being com-mon
themes," siad Schiffer.
"When I was growing up, it
was a fun world—the good
guys always won. Comic
books were a means of escape
then, not like some of the
blood and guts ones of today."
The content of today's
comic books is much more
varied. Publishers are print-ing
everything from those on
salvation, to pornographic
and X-rated comics. "A lot of
criticism is going on in comic
book writing today as to
some of the content," said
Schiffer.
"It's a fun hobby: I enjoy it," -
said Schiffer. "If anyone has a
collection, and is interested in
a little tuition money, come
and see me."

Writing papers is a task all
college students must endure.
The Writing Center, located
in AC 320, is a place where
students can get help when
they are stumped with a
paper.
"I see the Writing Center as
having a three-prong service,"
said Lynn Fauth, coordinator
of the Writing Center. "First
of all, it is to help students
who do have ability to write a
polished paper. We try to raise
competent writers to excel-lence.
This is the category
that contains 95% of the
students."
"The second purpose is to
help . students with very se-rious
writing problems, but
there are very few of them.
When we do come 'across a
person who needs a lot of
help, either Anne Rosenthal-
Siemers (assistant coordina-tor
of the Writing Center) or I
usually handle it. In other
words, we help raise the few
students who can't write to a
level of competency."
"Thirdly, although there
are not many, we try to help
excellent writers become su-perior,"
said Fauth.
"Most schools have writing
centers because they recog-nize
the need," said Fauth.
"Here at Bethel, we do a lot for
very little. Our budget is very
small. We don't get into gim-micks.
The key to our effec-tiveness
is the one-to-one
help."
Signing paychecks, giving
the center credibility, and
evangelizing Writing Center
services among the faculty
are some of the roles Fauth
and Rosenthal-Siemers play
as the coordinators. They also
play a major part in hiring the
staff.
"Basically I look for two
things in a tutor," said Fauth.
"I'm looking for competent
writers and understanding
people. The tutors are also
learning writers and must
work at it. They must under-stand
the struggles of the
client, see the need, and help
it."
Rosenthal-Siemers said,
"We help writers express their
own ideas more clearly. The
most valuable service the
tutors have to offer is to read
the student's paper so the stu-dent
can see it through the
eyes of someone else."
Karen Coleman, a tutor in
the Writing Center, said,
"There are a lot of facets con-nected
with the Writing Cen-ter.
I see my job as helping
people formulate, organize,
and support ideas and make
those ideas understandable to
others. In other words, we
can help anybody at any stage
in writing a paper. In addi-tion,
we can help students
with spelling and grammati-cal
problems."
"Because writing is an indi-vidual
and personal art, it is
important for us to recognize
that each person has an indi-vidual
style," said Coleman.
"No matter what a student's
competency level in writing
is, it always is helpful to have
a second opinion," said Cole-man,
"often just for reassu-rance
that you're on the right
track."
"We're not here to cut down
a student's writing," said Cole-man.
"We understand the prob-lems
and we're here to help.
We all go through the same
difficulties and fears."

Wallace leads Royals in River Falls race
by Wendy Norberg
Greg "Wally" Wallace ran
an exceptional race and led
the men's cross country team
to a fifth-place finish in last

Participation in intramural
sports is much greater this
year than last. Tempest Nix-on
and Craig Haugen, Bethel's
intramural student directors,
work with six student super-visors
to organize the pro-gram.
Under the direction of
George Palke, assistant pro-fessor
in physical education,
the staff serves the Bethel
community.
Increased publicity is said
to have had an impact on the
positive turnout. An oppor-tunity
fair was held during
Welcome Week, where the in-tramural
program sponsored
a booth for the first time.
The men have always had a
big part in the activities, said
Nixon and Haugen, but this
year more emphasis will be
on female involvement. A
change which may help sup-port
this emphasis is the
movement of women's open
league basketball from inte-rim
to fall. Since broomball is
a major interim sport in
which many women partici-pate,
the change is hoped to

encourage more female in-volvement
in other intramu-ral
activities.
The main goal of Bethel's
intramural sports program is
increased participation to cre-ate
a good fellowship. "We're
not looking necessarily as to
who wins," says Haugen, "but
to improve students physical-ly
as well as socially."
"We'd like to look at it as
more than a 'jock atmos-phere,'
placing importance on
a sense of cooperation," adds
Nixon.
With the exception of one
member, the intramural staff
is entirely new this year. Both
Haugen and Nixon admit that
they are experimenting with
trial and error.
Some new ideas in mind for
this year include floor hockey
for men which would take
place in February or March,
and also the possibility of
wrist wrestling for both men
and women. They are hoping
to see co-ed softball continue

Jim Miller was a stalwart
on defense for Bethel, coming
up with 20 tackles for the
Royals and drawing high
praise from his coach.
"Jimmy had one of the most
spectacular days I've seen him

linebacker.
While the defense managed
to hold off Concordia for much
of the game, the offense had
trouble trying to penetrate the
MIAC's top defense. The
Royals never had a good scor-ing
opportunity and failed to
get inside Concordia's 30-yard
line.
The most consistent offen-sive
play was throwing the
ball to end Byron Johnson,
whether it came from the arm
of Steve Doten or Rhett Bon-ner.
Johnson had seven
catches for 115 yards as Doten
and Bonner alternated at the
quarterback spot.
Lutton realized that his
team, comprised of mostly
freshmen and sophomores,
still has a way to go but
thinks his program is headed
in the right direction.
"One of these days we'll be
able to play with them (Con-cordia)
and I think that day
will come sooner than later,"
he said.
The Royals go on the road
again this Saturday, traveling
to Chicago to take on Olivet
Nazerene.

Bethel women's soccer has
started its third season with a
2 - 1 record. The 24 women in
the club are coached by Tom
Persico, senior.
Two years ago Persico and
others decided that women
should have a soccer program.
A plan for a women's soccer
club was brought before Stu-dent
Senate and George Palke,
assistant professor in physi-cal
education, in fall 1980.
Two months later, women's
soccer was approved and it
began in the spring of 1981.
It was hard to find schools
to compete with in the spring
so this year women's soccer
was switched to fall. The rea-son,
according to Persico, was
because all the MIAC schools
were turning varsity and play-ing
in the fall.
Although many of the play-ers
are new, Persico said he
admires the effort they put in
the game. "I have never seen
such quality and joy—their
energy is encouraging to see."
The main goal is to establish
team unity and fellowship
with one another on the field.
Included in that goal is "serv-ing
the Lord and being a wit-ness
to the other schools,"
according to Persico.
Women's soccer club plays
against the private schools in
the area, and some state
schools such as the U of M
and St. Cloud. According to
Persico, many of the teams it
has gone up against are expe-rienced
and tough. In the up-coming
games "they might be
surprised that we have a lot
of talent on the team," he said.
In the future, Persico would
like to see the club become a
team. As a team, women's
soccer would have a budget,
which Persico said would
"ease things all around by
supplying uniforms and gas
money."
The next women's soccer
game will be Saturday, Oct.
23 at the U of M.

Johnson's trio
trips Tommies
in shut-out win
by John Lilleberg
The soccer team upped its
conference- record to 6-0- 2
with a solid 3 -0 win over a
tough St. Thomas squad. The
shut-out victory, the Royals'
second this season, was high-lighted
by impressive defen-sive
play. Playing particularly
well defensively were sweeper
Steve Figini and outside full-back
Steve Schottmuller.
All three Bethel goals were
scored by Mark Johnson.
Johnson scored late in the
first half then added two more
in the second half. Two of the
goals were set up by Bobby
Clark; Mark Schlenker as-sisted
with the other.
Assistant Coach Andy
Larson noted, "The defense
played well," and added, "It
wasn't a real pretty game—
but we won."
On Oct. 23 the Royals play
the Oles at St. Olaf. This is
followed by the long-awaited
clash against the Johnnies at
St. John's on Wednesday, Oc-tober
27.
Bethel soccer club
starts third season
Royals manage to contain Cobbers... temporarily
by John Clark
Bethel football coach Dud
Lutton hopes he never devel-ops
a taste for losing, but
after holding the defending
national champions to one
touchdown for almost three
quarters he was pleased with
his Royal team even in defeat.
The final score was 28-0 in
favor of the Concordia Cob-bers
in the game played Oct.
17. The game, scheduled to be
,played at Moorhead, was
moved to Fargo due to poor
field conditions.
"I felt better about this game
than a lot of games we've
played this year," said Lutton
of the Concordia contest.
"Sometimes the scoreboard is
a little irrelevant to good
play."
In this case the scoreboard
was irrelevant in two ways.
The game was close until Con-cordia
scored late in the third
quarter to take a 14-0 lead. If
not for a steller defensive per-formance
by the Bethel de-fense,
the game could have
been a total blowout, wit-nessed
by the Cobbers 474-
193 advantage in total offense.
Concordia scored the first
time it had the ball, marching
96 yards to take a 7-0 lead. It
was a long time, however,
before the Cobbers saw the
light of the end zone. Three
minutes remained in the third
quarter when Concordia iced
the game with its second TD.
"They certainly are a very,
very good team," stated Lut-ton.
"It was difficult to keep
them out of the end zone. We
just got worn down."
The key for Bethel was forc-ing
the Cobbers to make long
drives rather than turn the
ball over and allow for quick
scores.
"I think our offense did a
good job of handling the ball
and controlling the offense,"
said Lutton. "The big thing for
us was that we made them
travel the length of the field."

Spikers sweep three, gain conference confidence
by Todd Erickson
A sweep of three matches
during the week did wonders
for the Royal volleyball team's
confidence, to say nothing of
its conference standing.
Bethel now stands at 6- 1 in
the conference, one game be-hind
undefeated Macalester;
after disposing of St. Thomas,
Augsburg, and Concordia.
The Royals began the week
with a grueling five-game
match against St. Thomas,
coming from behind to win 5-
15, 10- 15, 15-8, 15-9, and 15- 3.
"St. Thomas had a really
quick offense," said Coach
Cindy Book, "and we honestly
weren't ready for it."
Book cited some defensiye,
adjustments and some strong
team confidence as reasons
for the Royals' encouraging
comeback.
Book also made mention of
the stand-out play of Shelly
Sorenson, Pam Madson, and
Katy Rott during the highly
emotional struggle against the
Tommies.
The second match of the
week, against Augsburg, was
"an excellent match," accord-ing
to Book, with Bethel vic-tories
in four games, 6- 15, 15-
10, 15- 11, and 15- 11.
"Pat Jones played the best
game I've ever seen her play,"
said Book.
Bethel struggled a bit more
than Book thought they should
have against Concordia, drop-
. ping the Rame before
winning 12-15, 15-8, 16-14,
and 16-14.
"That was a tough game for
us mentally, probably more
than anything else," said Book.
She was referring to the two
highly-emotional matches
earlier in the week, and how it
was hard to hold that level of
play on a Friday match.
"We certainly can play bet-ter,"
said Book of the Concor-dia
match, "but again, that
desire to win was there, and
we just held tough."
The Royals were down 1-
10 in the third game of that
match, but proved how they
could "hang tough" by out-scoring
the Cobbers 15-4 from
that point.
